I get tired of checking in with people, wishing them a good day, sending "get well soon" wishes, giving encouragement, etc., etc..........and nobody does it back to me. :(
the only reason I can think of is I'm just not important to them. I'm talking about immediate family and extended family. This is more of a whine than a rant.
I think it comes from having so much around us all the time. People with far less seem to be able to be happy with so much less. We are like kids in a candy store, then we bitch about the stomach ache.Quote:

I hate them. I hate technology, especially technology that changes.
I imagine they get eaten or starved of resources by the more adaptable amoebae. I don't think natural selection offers an opt-out clause.Quote:

But I still need a new car.
Should donations be made to your favorite charity or should I send flowers?Quote:

I gave them details and said I wanted to be on the do not call list. The woman then realized what promotion I was calling about and launched into the exact same sales script in the voice mail. I said, "Stop with the script." She did not. I repeated myself. Still she continued spouting it off. I then yelled, STOP and she finally agreed to place me on the do not call list then hung up on me midsentence. I called back and she claimed on a Saturday their busiest day no manager was there, no supervisor was there, no service advisor was there, and none of them had voice mail. So I asked for the salesperson who sold me the car trying to say he said if there was ever an issue call him, but it was hard to get a word in edgewise as she kept talking over me. She said she didn't know who that would be. I told her look in the computer. She refused. I then said let me speak to anyone who is salaried and I finally reported to someone else her outright lies and rude behavior.
Another reason along with their crappy tires I will not buy a Hyundai again, in case you are taking recommendations and anti-recommendations CL.
If we do give up car ownership and move to a driverless car system that eliminates dealerships I will feel a lot of schadenfreude. National chains of driverless car companies can buy directly from manufacturers for their fleets.
Well, if you have enough time you can make anybody miserable. For instance, Hyundai’s have a very generous and lengthy warranty. The service department can get overwhelmed with complaints of mysterious noises. While you are waiting for them to find the rattle in your dashboard, you can be talking loudly to other customers about how crappy the cars are. Which will prompt a customer service representative to pull you aside at which time you could mention to them the annoying calls you are getting and that putting a halt to it would really be appreciated.
The warranty is expired but I like your thinking.
